Q: cannot screen share to desktop, firewall not an issue
I've noticed that I can successfully connect my laptop to my desktop (both running Yosemite) via screen sharing while on my home network, but I cannot connect remotely. I've turned off my firewall on both computers, but to no avail. I get a "could not connect" error. Doesn't matter what remote network I'm logged onto. I should add that my home desktop is connected via an extended Airport Extreme to a hub Airport Extreme. Cable modem. I have checked both Airports and NTP mapping is enabled. The problem is not with the computer at home falling asleep. Settings in Sharing appear to be just fine--I have screen sharing enabled on both, Back to Mac is enabled on both. As far as I can tell, everything is perfect. Restarting of course has no effect. Any ideas? I'm stumped.
Thanks!
MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10)
